'My partner died. Then I discovered his texts'
Notes de l’épisode
Hello!
Today’s guest, Erin Baker, is a journalist and writer. After losing her dad, dog, and partner in the last year, Erin has learnt to face death head-on.
In this Life Lessons episode, Erin opens up about her partner James’ terminal brain cancer diagnosis and the messiness that followed as they struggled with their volatile relationship and the politics of their blended family. Erin also shares the horror of discovering James’ messages to another woman after he passed, and what that would have meant for their relationship were he still alive.
Erin has learnt that you can still love and grieve imperfect people, that life isn't about happiness, and that death isn't something to fear.
